That said, the reviews and featurelists from SS look cool, but not nearly as cool as X2 from www.egosoft.com - which i have long meant to pick up, but have still not gotten to it.

For X2, here is what David Braben had to say about it :

"I do find games like X Beyond the Frontier irritative and unimaginative - simply trying to cash in on the heritage of Elite without doing anything new."

As a matter of fact, I bought X2 and regret that decision. The CD is picking dust on my desk.

(any european takers welcome, PM me)

You might also be interested in VegaStrike. It seems to share some similarities with these games.

Looks interesting.

After editing The Wargamer's review of the first X title, I still have a residual aVersion, although I did buy a used disk of it, but never installed it. It sounded like some stuff was messed up, the combat and ship design and mechanics (my main interests) didn't sound so good, and then IIRC you were stuck with one ship with really obnoxious puns associated with it:

The Xperimental Shuttle

That name just makes me want to lock weapons and fire...

PvK
